Empty Nest Syndrome...what did you do?
Okay, so this topic is directed towards the lovely couples and parents who now "suffer" (-or suffered) from EMPTY NEST SYNDROME.
Now that you have no more kids to worry about in the house, what will you end up doing with your time?
more specifically...
what changed in your house?
how often do you see the kids?
what got better and what got worse?
That's a good question. Not much changed for us since we both were still working. We were a free storage space for our kids belongings so it was hard changing their rooms to new uses. One of the most difficult things was to get them to give up their house keys and have them knock when they came over, or better yet to call first. It's been a while now but we still have a lot of their junk to get rid of. We've gotten rid of a lot of stuff and never mentioned it and it hasn't been missed yet.
Good god I feel so sad reading that reply. It seems like such a life-changing moment once that happens, it's something you can't force upon or change back to the past.
You have to accept it and go with it at the same time.
Thank you so much for that answer.
In my first reply I unfortunately dwelt mostly on the negative side which in reality were minor issues. On the positive side, our social nudism experiences flourished. We now have the opportunities to go out a lot more with nudist friends and attend nudist activities. During the summer there is hardly a weekend that we don't have a party to attend and we have planned events to attend once or twice a month during the cooler months. At home nudism is now the norm and not the exception. On the whole I would say that empty nest syndrome has been a more positive experience than a negative one. When you're nude or can be nude everything is good.
I'm afraid my "empty nest" is different from most. I don't want this to be a downer, however. The last kid was away in college when I retired, but within the month I suddenly lost my best friend/companion and wife. Not the life I had envisioned. Today I travel, visit nude resorts and beaches and go to several nudist clubs, but usually alone. I spend a lot of time (and gas) visiting my grandkids which have been joyous times. I would love to find a healthy, active, fun-loving young lady to join me in my travels.
We are not empty nesters, one of our adult children still lives home.
However, several empty nesters we know have commented that one advantage is you can be naked at home any time you want to.
I even remember asking a friend of a friend who I didn't even know very well how they were adjusting now that his adult son had moved back home. The first thing he said was "I can't go around the house naked."
What did we do? The wife cried for a day or two when the final son left and as she said , 'I got over it.'
I know we both felt tired in general and ready for some rest. We invested the time once spent raising kids to investing the time in ourselves. We absolutely love it! I was 52 years old when I got the first room to myself I could do anything with.
I found money in my pocket I didn't have before, the wife was happy about the grocery bill now slashed,
we got to hang out with each other in a quiet house. It does help that my wife and I love being with each other nearly 24/7. The kids all check in periodically by phone and we do see one son that lives an hour away a few times a month. One is in the military so not very much at all. One is a touring musician so that is hit and miss. All of the are doing well in their careers.
We LOVE being empty nesters!

Do you spend more time nude than you did when your children lived at home?

Oh yes because it was possible. Birth mom (Ex) would not allow something like open nudity around the kids. So we did the dance when they were gone to when they were home. It was a silly thing because they knew we were nudist but necessary.
